I am a novice at programming and I am sure there may be more efficient
ways to accomplish the same task but I am attempting to emulate a recorded macro in Excel and substitute variables for the folder path (blue) and the file name (green). The recorded macro is as follows: Sub Macro1 With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Array(Arra y( _ "ODBC;DSN=Timberline Estimating Data;DBQ=G: \Illigdbase1;CODEPAGE=1252;DictionaryMode=0;Standa rdMode=0;MaxColSupport=255;ShortenNames=" _ ), Array("0;DatabaseType=2;")), Destination:=Range("A1")) .CommandText = Array( "SELECT * FROM ""308 NORTH RODEO DR GC2_PEE_ESTIMATE_COVERPG_SETUP""") .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With End Sub I have successfully created functions that provide the folder path (FolderFromPath) and the file name (GetEstimateName). Sub Macro2 GetEstimateName FolderFromPath (strFullPath) CoverpageQuery = GetEstimateName & "_PEE_ESTIMATE_COVERPG_SETUP" ' Connection String ConnString = "ODBC;DSN=Timberline Estimating Data;DBQ=FolderFromPath;" ' ' Query String QueryString = "SELECT * FROM CoverpageQuery" With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Array(Arra y(ConnString), Array("0;DatabaseType=2;")), Destination:=Range("A1")) .CommandText = QueryString .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With End Sub I seem to be having trouble with the connection and query strings and passing them to the With statement. The FolderFromPath variable does not to work in the ConnString. The CoverpageQuery is passed to the QueryString with single quotes. I'm not sure how to accomodate the double quotes. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. |
